Hi everyone, cycled through Paradise the other day and it's great to see all the hard work people are still putting in to maintaining it!
Just quick thing to be careful of: There was lots of exposed wood used in some of the jumps. Back in the day when the site was made an official MTB area, one of the big things the council didn't want was any kind of wood being used in jumps and berms, so just a heads up, be worth either taking it out and filling with dirt or cover it up well to keep them on side.

Happy riding
